Tongue firmly…
… in cheek: we’ve just discovered a blog with some not-bad political spoofs…
Though India Inc. is still not out with a clear verdict, experts believe that even that’s a huge indication that how monumentally confusing this budget has been. “We were sitting here, holding our wine glasses, hoping for a speech ripe with numbers, figures, terms, even new kinds of taxes…anything that doesn’t make sense at all, and he exceeded our expectations. I mean, right from the first sentence where he said “physical” and meant “fiscal” – he was on the ball”, said Aditya Birla Group’s COO Coolraaj Chibbar.

Expressly dismissing the media reports and opposition interpretation that India had sold-out its diplomatic advantage in those few hours of madness, Prime Minister popped a cool mint and added – “That’s not true. At least there is no proof. At least we think so.”
That from here.
Thanks Rajiv and Sanjay,
for re-affirming my faith in constructive satire. Just the other day we were having a discussion regarding politicians’ sense of humor and how important part humor plays in a democracy.
Cheers!
Without Humor, you have Nothing!
